Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial: design and baseline data.
640
TL;DR: The EMGT is the first large randomized, clinical trial to evaluate the role of immediate pressure reduction, as compared to no initial reduction, in patients with early glaucoma and normal or moderately elevated IOP, and its results will have implications for the clinical management of glau coma.

Risk Factors for Progressive Visual Field Loss in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
TL;DR: This retrospective investigation has provided preliminary information on factors associated with increased risk of progressive glaucomatous visual field loss that may inform clinical care strategies, and Lack of concordance with other studies suggests that further prospective investigations are needed if risk stratification strategies are to be employed in caring for patients with chronic open-angleglaucoma.

Byron L. Lam,D. Diane Zheng,Evelyn P. Davila,Kristopher L. Arheart,Manuel A. Ocasio,Kathryn E. McCollister,Alberto J. Caban-Martinez,David J. Lee +7 more
TL;DR: Factors associated with increasing glaucoma medication expenditure trends include the increasing use of prostaglandin analogs, changes in insurance coverage, and possibly more aggressive glAUcoma treatment.

Comparing the detection and agreement of parapapillary atrophy progression using digital optic disk photographs and alternation flicker
TL;DR: Inter- and intra-observer agreement using a novel automated alternation flicker technology and side-by-side digital photography inspection for the evaluation of PPA progression was compared and flicker identified more cases of progressive PPA than photographic review.

Timolol increased retrobulbar flow velocities in untreated glaucoma eyes but not in ocular hypertension.
TL;DR: Peripheral resistance to blood flow was found to be increased in untreated glaucoma eyes as compared to a similar group of eyes with ocular hypertension, which could indicate defective autoregulation in the glAUcoma group.

Takeo Fukuchi,Takaiko Yoshino,Hideko Sawada,Masaaki Seki,Tetsuya Togano,T Tanaka,Jun Ueda,Haruki Abe +7 more
TL;DR: The results of this study might be used to predict the prognosis of visual field defects, as well as the quality of vision in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.
Proportional hazards tests and diagnostics based on weighted residuals
TL;DR: In this article, Chen et al. showed that a treatment effect that decreases with time can be directly visualized by smoothing an appropriate residual plot, which can be expressed as a weighted least-squares line fitted to the residual plot.

Models for longitudinal data: a generalized estimating equation approach.
TL;DR: This article discusses extensions of generalized linear models for the analysis of longitudinal data in which heterogeneity in regression parameters is explicitly modelled and uses a generalized estimating equation approach to fit both classes of models for discrete and continuous outcomes.

TL;DR: The LOCS III is an improved LOCS system for grading slit-lamp and retroillumination images of age-related cataract and contains an expanded set of standards that were selected from the Longitudinal Study of Cataract slide library.

Discrete sequential boundaries for clinical trials
K. K. Gordon Lan,David L. DeMets +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a more flexible method to construct discrete sequential boundaries based on the choice of a function, a*(t), which characterizes the rate at which the error level ac is spent.
